Scale Now! What Are You Waiting For?

As the car detail industry sees steady growth, there are more opportunities for Adelaide business growth than ever before. Whether you want to increase staff, diversify services and products, or simply move to bigger premises – the following suggestions will help you accelerate the growth of your car detailing business:

Customer retention

Loyal customers are precious. Consistently go the extra mile to ensure loyalty grows. Your business is likely to get more revenue from repeat business rather than new customers. Meanwhile, repeat customers spend more than new customers. With this in mind, you need to follow-up with clients through phone calls and monthly/biweekly subscriber emails. Ask them how they liked their car detail and ask for a few referrals. Reward your customers with incentives for repeat business and referrals. All in all, the ideal way to retain your clients is by offering premium car detailing services.

Improve your website

A website can be used as an effective marketing strategy for your business. Consumers are always making decisions and passing judgment about whether or not they’ll need your services or even visit your detail shop. Make sure your business is well represented online by having a professional website. Review your website for good keyword content and SEO to rank top on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Yelp searches. If you have a spare moment, have a look at Adelaide Automotive Detailing YouTube, in particular, the way their videos are ranked. Update your website images and content to keep your clients up-to-date. Apart from making your website 100% mobile responsive, make sure it stands out from your competitors’ websites.

Offer top-notch services

Customers are brand ambassadors. They talk about their experiences with companies or car detailers Adelaide – both good and bad. Happy customers always share their experiences with colleagues, family, and friends, which increases business over time through word-of-mouth advertising. Catering to your client needs is crucial for repeat business and new business. High-quality services improve customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, staff pride and satisfaction, market position and reduce marketing costs. Gain a competitive edge by exceeding your customers’ expectations. Search for new profitable car detailing products and services to offer your customers. Expand the services you are offering by adding profitable vinyl and leather repairs, glass repairs, odour removal, headlight restoration, and ceramic coatings.

Other than conveying your business organisation structure, a business plan is an effective management tool which can be regularly referred to, to ensure the business is on course to meet sales targets, goals and operational milestones. Developing an inclusive business plan shows whether your business has the potential to make a profit or not. If you have one, make sure you update and revise it regularly. Create monthly revenue sales goals plus the number of cars you need to detail to achieve those goals. Also, create a procedures and methods guide for all components of your car detailing business.

Create partnerships

Having a strategic partner gives you a competitive advantage and enables you to access a wide range of expertise and resources. This means your clients get distinctive products and services that are different from the competition. What’s more – strategic business partnerships help small businesses to grow their client base fast. If you are a new car detailer, surround yourself with people who you can learn from and partner with. Seek to collaborate with car dealerships and car-care businesses in your locality for more referral business.
